I've never done spray tanning before, so I didn't know what to expect! I just had it done yesterday, and at first, I was freaked out because the bronzing that is left on the skin really made me look a little too...well, tan. Plus it seemed to be blotchy, however, I stayed away from water, didn't work out/sweat, and showered before going to bed (8 hrs). They suggest longer than that. I was astounded - the darker color washed down the drain, leaving me PERFECT. I really loved the color - especially on my legs, which never see the light of day normally. I felt far more confident in my Easter dress! Loved Abby - who applied my tan. She knows her stuff!
